Question 1
Every morning, Rajeev spends an hour alone drawing a portrait from a photograph in the dayüs newspaper to improve his portraiture skills (skills drawing a portrait). Yet, despite a year of practice, his drawing skills do not seem to improved. Why might simply practicing a portrait a day not yield an improvement?

Rajeev is getting a lot of practice, but he should ask an art instructor each day for feedback on how well he drew the day’s portrait
It's not deliberate practice.
The task of creating a portrait is a complex one and should be studied step by step rather than in full. Hence, Rajeev should identify what parts of the portrait are problematic and practice them regularly instead of drawing new full portrait every day.

Not quite right. Here is one of the correct answers. Retry after reading it.
People generally can't improve to a higher level without some figure telling them what that higher level is/looks like. For all we know, Rajeev is drawing stick figures and thinks them pretty good. He needs someone/something to evaluate him and tell him what parts of his portrait need improving on so that he can practice those particular aspects.
